Chapter 217: Chapter 214 Decision
Gu Jinlai watched as the frenzied slaughter approached.
Mob.
The forces gathered before him had fully demonstrated to the world the meaning of "mob."
Groups like the Ouyang Family, Tianhai Gang, Xingtian Sect, and Dragon Breath Sect had only been willing to gamble after Ye Dongliu promised them hefty rewards.
But such benefits were easily discarded without hesitation in the face of certain death.
After all, what was the use of possessing more spiritual artifacts if one was dead?
The only thing that caused Gu some trouble was the scattering of these people, which increased the difficulty of his pursuit.
Many of them carried Karma as bright red as blood.
For a moment, he could only regretfully make choices and fix his gaze on Dragon Sparrow Manor.
His colossal figure was like a true Demon God; almost every expert from Dragon Sparrow Manor that stood in his way fell dead or was wounded upon contact.
He whipped up a storm of blood and gore amidst the crowd.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Dongliu’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, "Retreat! Quick, retreat! Scatter and flee for your lives—we save whoever can be saved!"
He himself clenched his teeth tightly and turned to flee at full speed.
But before he could rush out a few dozen meters, a violent ju feng carrying an oppressive suffocation roared towards him.
Ye Dongliu barely had time to control his flying sword and place it in front of him when the Cheng Ying Sword thrown by Gu Jinlai was spinning rapidly and fiercely struck his flying sword that was shot toward him.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew everywhere.
Gang Qi and Power formed a visible wave that exploded mid-air.
Ye Dongliu, whose flying sword was already damaged in spirit, felt his Divine Sense severely shaken, as if his Yin God had been cleaved apart by the Cheng Ying Sword.
By the time he had recovered from this daze and agony, a mighty figure tore through the dispersing Qi wave, descending like a Demon God.
This Demon God’s punch exploded the air directly in front of him.
Such oppressive force made Ye Dongliu issue a roar of despair, "Gu Jinlai!"
The next moment, his Essence Qi Spirit burned wildly, transforming into a fierce and blazing True Yuan as he clenched his fist into a sword and struck fiercely.
"Shattering Sword Technique!"
The Sword Qi soared to the heavens.
In the void, it seemed as though a shadow of a sword light was projected.
Inside appeared to contain the everything of this Divinity Transformation Cultivator that he was willing to burn, including his very being.
This was clearly the supreme swordsmanship technique Ye Dongliu had perfected through cultivation, performing it at the cost of his life.
Unfortunately...
This peak supreme swordsmanship could not conceal the gap between him and Gu Jinlai that was almost spanning two whole realms.
Accompanied by Gu Jinlai’s Fist Force that shattered the void and a collision with the sword light that burned all of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s Essence Qi Spirit, the surrounding hundreds of meters of the void seemed to freeze simultaneously.
Then, Ye Dongliu’s body, including the Sword Qi derived from his Essence Qi Spirit, burst into pieces.
The scattered Power and the exploding Sword Qi crazily sliced the ground, leaving cracks that spread in all directions.
Within tens to hundreds of meters, all the grass and debris seemed to be grinded by an invisible force and shattered.
Even some trees were cut, torn apart, rolled up, and thrown more than a hundred meters away.
A few of Dragon Sparrow Manor’s True Disciples who were not far away and caught in the blast vomited fresh blood, their bodies flying as if struck by a truck going a hundred kilometers per hour, enveloped in a mist of blood from the Sword Qi and Power blasts.
The carriages and supplies they carried were also flipped and blown away by this explosive force.
Several strong ’Horned Horses’ were flung tens of meters away, crushing down onto the ground, their internal organs shattered on impact.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The intense rumbling noise accompanied by shockwaves spread far and wide.
Gu Jinlai, who was in the midst of his charge, was shaken and was actually stopped in his tracks by Ye Dongliu’s sword thrust with a punch.
Already dizzy from the successive casting of six swords, he vomited another mouthful of fresh blood.
This scene caused those from Dragon Sparrow Manor who were despairing and thinking of escaping to be stunned.
The next moment, one of Dragon Sparrow Manor’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators shouted, "He’s hurt! Even after shielding against our collective strike from 12 Divinity Transformation Cultivators, he’s still heavily injured!"
"Exactly, the flying swords summoned by 12 Divinity Transformation Cultivators could directly annihilate a Primordial Spirit Monarch. Gu Jinlai must have used a powerful secret technique to block that combined strike!"
Another Divinity Transformation expert immediately gave an order, "Spread the command, seize the opportunity while Gu Jinlai is heavily injured, spare no expense to kill him on the spot!"
"Yes!"
The members of Dragon Sparrow Manor, who were ready to scatter and flee, including the Refining God Immortals and Hugging Pill Dharma Protectors, roared in unison.
Compared to Demon Sects, Sects like the Six Great Immortal Sects had a stronger cohesion.
Many True Disciples were even raised and taught from childhood.
For them, Dragon Sparrow Manor was their home.
To defend their homeland, to slay the evil demon, what did they have to fear even in death?
"Kill!"
In midst of the roaring, these Refining God Immortals, under the leadership of two other Divinity Transformation Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor, charged fearlessly at Gu Jinlai regardless of the huge gap between them.
"Those who descend will face judgment, the innocent may be spared from death!"
Gu Jinlai’s thunderous voice exploded among the crowd.
Among those charging were even some Heavenly Masters who were not combatants.
But...
No one backed down.
All the disciples of Dragon Sparrow Manor displayed a fearlessness as they looked towards Gu Jinlai with eyes that saw a supreme evil demon, a demon that, regardless of the price, they must seal, slaughter, and reduce to ashes.
This kind of gaze caused the killing intent within Gu Jinlai to gradually boil over.
"You..."
He reached out his hand sweeping up, and the trembling Cheng Ying Sword, drawn by its spirit, flew into his grasp.
Afterward, he gripped the giant sword in his hands and slashed at the fastest approaching Refining God Immortal, who was only known as Yellow, "Seeking your own death."
"Bang!"
Absolute power crushed down.
Even though this Refining God Immortal had used some forbidden technique and his True Qi burst forth, enough to match a Middle Level Demon in might.
Yet, in the face of Gu Jinlai, who had performed the Great Sun True Demon Body and held the supreme grade spiritual artifact, the Cheng Ying Sword, he was still obliterated on the spot, both man and sword.
"Kill!"
"Slay the Devils and Demons!"
"We the disciples of Dragon Sparrow Manor, why fear death!"
One after another, the experts from Dragon Sparrow Manor roared, exhausting their forbidden techniques, and successively charged at Gu Jinlai.
But none could come close to him under the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand.
Barely managing to rally his spirit, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator forced himself and, seizing the moment when Gu Jinlai was tightly engaged, burned his Essence Qi Spirit and unleashed his flying sword, shooting through the air.
But...
As a brilliant light beam burst from the Great Sun Core visualized behind Gu Jinlai, the flying sword, carrying this Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s determination to deliver a fatal blow, was hit by this Eternal Heavenly Curse, and the spirit attached to the flying sword was instantly dissipated.
Ultimately, with just an outstretched hand, the flying sword, which carried all the hopes of the people of Dragon Sparrow Manor, was grasped in his hand.
"Too strong..."
Another Divinity Transformation Cultivator said bitterly, with despair.
Standing four meters tall, clad in Spirit Armor, Gu Jinlai was like a fearsome Demon God, constantly swinging his War Sword.
One after the other, the Dragon Sparrow Manor elders, protectors, and disciples, including the Heavenly Masters, who averaged less than one meter eighty in height, fearlessly charged at this gigantic figure, only to be struck into a mist of blood by his War Sword.
Sometimes, the fierce and violent energy from the War Sword burst forth, killing many at once.
Even though Dragon Sparrow Manor had nearly a hundred protectors due to the large number of Heavenly Masters, they were still slaughtered at an incredibly fast rate in what could only be described as a suicidal onslaught.
And the remaining people...
The instinct to survive finally overcame the determination to stand firm.
They came to their senses.
Realizing that even if all of them perished, they would not even harm a single hair of Gu Jinlai, they scattered.
Panic-stricken, they fled in all directions.
Gu Jinlai showed not the slightest mercy in his pursuit.
"Master, we... let’s flee."
A Hugging Pill Realm female disciple stepped forward, her pretty face filled with fear.
This was his fourteenth disciple, Xu Qingqing.
Only twenty-six, she had already refined her Qi into the Hugging Pill, recognized as supremely talented.
Bringing her here this time was actually just for her to broaden her horizons.
"Others may be able to run away, but I, I cannot..."
The Divinity Transformation Elder pushed his own disciple away, "You go now, save yourself if you can, tell the Sect about what happened here. It has come to this, Dragon Sparrow Manor and Star State are not giving up unless they’re undying. If we don’t deal with this quickly, the inheritance of Dragon Sparrow Manor for several centuries might face extinction, when a decision must be made, it should be made decisively..."
"Master..."
"Go."
The Divinity Transformation Elder growled lowly.
"Master, I won’t leave, if we’re going, we’ll go together..."
Xu Qingqing had tears in her eyes, shaking her head vigorously.
She hadn’t finished speaking when the Divinity Transformation Elder suddenly widened his eyes, "Be careful!"
He bravely stepped forward, seemingly wanting to block something.
But then, a giant sword carrying the power of thunderous might brutally flew their way.
The target...
Was him!
Yet his disciple, Xu Qingqing, happened to stand right in front of him!
He stirred the True Yuan inside him, and a short sword he carried struck out fiercely, with Gang Qi blasting forth...
Regrettably, it was meaningless.
Under the Cheng Ying Sword, spinning rapidly with the Ten Directions Annihilation, the "weak" Gang Qi directly disintegrated, and the pure force carried by the sword instantly turned his disciple into a blood mist, not even leaving behind a scream.
Then...
The Cheng Ying Sword, unrelenting in its momentum, further slashed into his body, a pain like being torn apart instantly spread throughout his entire body.
"I..."
The Divinity Transformation Cultivator opened his mouth, trying to say something.
But in the end, staring desperately at Gu Jinlai, who was approaching step by step...
"Brave, dauntless!"
Gu Jinlai’s deep voice echoed across the battlefield strewn with corpses, "The disciples of Dragon Sparrow Manor are so courageous that they move me."
His gaze seemed to fall upon him.
"So... to ensure that those around me will not end up like the disciples of Dragon Sparrow Manor..."
Gu Jinlai reached out, grabbing the hilt of the Cheng Ying Sword that had almost split the Dragon Sparrow Manor’s Divinity Transformation Realm Elder in two, "I have decided not to wait any longer, I will go back and rally my troops, and wipe out Dragon Sparrow Manor."
"Hiss!"
Withdrawing the sword.
The elder from Dragon Sparrow Manor widened his eyes suddenly.
There was fear, reluctance, and above all, hatred for the person before him.
In the end...
He fell back with that hatred and reluctance.
